Who this covers
Sentinel (schedule.acdcpowergroup.com) is an internal business tool. Only people with an ACDC Power Group company Google account can sign in, and each person sees only what their role allows. This policy explains what information Sentinel holds, why, where it is kept and who can see it.
What Sentinel holds
- Account information: name, company email address, role and permissions, and sign-in times.
- Employee and crew information: name, position, crew, work schedule, hours worked, time entries, pay rates and pay changes, per diem, and work location records captured with time entries. Home addresses and location records are visible only to HR and administrators.
- Job and business records: jobs, estimates, budgets, schedules, purchase orders, supplier invoices, change orders, pay applications, customers, suppliers, and files people upload (such as receipts, lien waivers, statements and payroll reports).
- Financial records: bank transaction exports (account numbers are masked to the last four digits on screen), cash forecasts, and accounting records.
- QuickBooks data: when an administrator connects ACDC's QuickBooks Online company, Sentinel reads and writes the company's accounting records needed for its features — customers and projects, suppliers, products and services, bills, invoices, payments, journal entries, time activity and company information. Sentinel does not access any other QuickBooks company.
Why it is used
Only to run ACDC Power Group's business: scheduling crews, costing jobs, paying suppliers, billing customers, checking payroll before it is submitted, and forecasting cash. Sentinel does not sell information, share it with advertisers or use it for marketing.
Who processes it on our behalf
- Google (Firebase / Google Cloud): hosting, sign-in, database, file storage and server functions. Data is stored in the United States.
- Intuit (QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Time): when connected, to exchange accounting and time records with ACDC's own QuickBooks company.
- Anthropic (Claude): the optional administrator assistant receives questions and job-level summaries (such as costs, margins and schedules); it is not sent individual pay or HR records. If the supplier-statement reader is used, the uploaded supplier statement is sent to read its lines. Anthropic does not use this data to train its models under its commercial terms.
No other third party receives Sentinel data unless the law requires it.
Security
Access is limited by role and every change is logged with who made it and when. Connections are encrypted (HTTPS), and stored data is encrypted by Google. QuickBooks app credentials are held in Google Secret Manager, and the connection's access tokens in a server-only database record. Neither is ever sent to a browser.
How long it is kept
Business, payroll and accounting records are kept as long as ACDC needs them for operations, tax, audit and legal purposes — generally at least seven years. Temporary technical records (for example, raw QuickBooks notifications) are deleted automatically after 30 days.
Disconnecting QuickBooks
An administrator can disconnect QuickBooks at any time from QuickBooks (Settings → Apps → Disconnect). Disconnecting revokes Sentinel's access, and Sentinel stops reading from and writing to QuickBooks. Records already in Sentinel remain company records under the retention rule above.
Your choices
Employees can ask HR to see or correct information Sentinel holds about them. Questions about this policy: legal@acdcpowergroup.com.

We will update this page when Sentinel's handling of information changes, and change the date at the top.
